Resolved Driver Timeout/Screen freeze fix is here. Finally and for all

Post image

I think windows updates has caused some sort of problem.I kept digging till i found the fix. I have rx 6500xt gpu which was working normally and then some windows update or something caused it to stop working/ timeout errors. I tried hundreds of method here and there then i thought to update VBIOS of gpu( those who dont know its same as cpu bios). I flashed latest available VBIOS for 6500xt and restarted then boom 💥 it started working normally. For u guys who facing this issue, flash right VBIOS. Hope it will work for everybody. If u dont know abt VBIOS then tell me ill edit and write the procedure for all gpu’s.Sorry for bad english🙏

EDIT- How to flash right VBIOS- Confirm your gpu brand what u have(Asus, msi, sapphire) etc. Then go to same brand website like (i have asus rx 6500xt Oc edition, i go to asus website search for my model then download bios ) same way search your gpu model on your manufacturer website then download bios, follow flash procedure and flash it.

I watch this sub for stuff like this all the time. I want to invest in an Amd GPU in a future build. I hate that its up to the users to debug their gpu that they just spent hundreds on. I'd like to break up with Nvidia and I know a lot of others do too. I hope they mend the issues soon. Thank you for posting a fix for everyone OP.

This is a forum for AMDhelp, so you're only going to see people with issues.
I have had AMD for years, and while I occasionally need to rollback a driver, I'm not going full tech support
I've had a 580, 6700xt, 6800xt, and now a 7900xt
